Glenn Douglas Turner Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Glenn Douglas Turner 70, of Tallahassee, Florida gloriously entered into the presence of his Heavenly Father on Tuesday December 14th, 2021, with his wife Joyce and daughter Ellen by his side. Glenn was born on August 29th, 1951 and graduated from Leon High School in 1969. On August 21st, 1993, he married Joyce Niles and together they have 2 daughters, Ellen, and Emily. Glenn enjoyed working for the State of Florida for 35 years, starting at the Department of Revenue and then moving to the Division of Motor Vehicles where he served as an Administrator. In 2007 Glenn served as the Region II President of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and in 2008 he served as the Association’s International Chair. He embraced every challenge in a positive God honoring way. In 2009 Glenn retired from the State of Florida’s Division of Motor Vehicles and afterward continued working in private consulting as Motor Services Consulting, LLC. He was blessed to have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest colleagues and clients throughout his career. He never took his work for granted and made a positive impact in the lives of those he worked with. His work was more than a job to him, it was an opportunity to build relationships and help others succeed. Glenn was a man of integrity. He truly lived a life of devotion to his Savior, his wife, and children, and to the many people around him in his community. He was a faithful servant of the Lord and was devoted to spending time in the Bible and in prayer every day without fail and he always kept Jesus as the center of his life. His every decision was carefully made through prayer and leaning on the truths of God’s word. He never went anywhere without his Bible. The word of Christ truly dwelt richly in Glenn in all wisdom. He was a bright light to those around him and he was always looking for ways to help and bless people, constantly seizing opportunities to help his neighbor, whether it be simply offering an encouraging word, helping someone find a needed job, generously gifting a car to someone in need, offering some helpful advice, or sharing a bible verse (or two!) He was the most kind, thoughtful, generous, hardworking, and devoted person to everyone. He loved and deeply valued spending time with his family and friends. Glenn enjoyed the beach, boating, fishing, being outdoors, gardening, camping with his family, baseball, FSU games, and hunting (especially bird and duck hunting). He was an avid golfer and enjoyed hosting golf tournaments for the DMV annual fundraiser. It has been said of him that he was a solutions guy with his most common saying being "We will make it happen!” Glenn had an amazing ability to reach and bless people in a tangible, deep and positive way. He will be missed beyond words. Glenn is home now, in a new body of spiritual perfection, in the cup of God's hands, in a light that never stops shining, a place that will never go dry and with a God that always listens to every word spoken. Glenn is survived by his beloved wife of 28 years, Joyce N. Turner and daughters, Ellen G. Turner and Emily D. Turner and preceded in death by his parents Odell and Doris Turner. The family will receive friends from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Sunday, December 19, 2021 at Bevis Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held 2:00 p.m. Monday, December 20, 2021 at Immanuel Baptist Church.
